Auto clave - Using the launch of the iPhone 4 around the Verizon network consumers have already been making the switch despite former reports on lackluster sales. Estimated at a million sales within the first week alone, Verizon looks to have made the right moves using their pre-order launch. Many Verizon network users had the ability to order their phones early thereby avoiding the typical new Apple release long lines. Some say the lack of long lines at the Verizon store what somewhat disappointing but analysts say that the numbers indicate that around 38 percent of iPhone purchasers visited their pre-order page hoping avoiding the hassle. Other analysts have suggested that numerous users are waiting around for the much anticipated iPhone 5 release which is due out later this season.

What can new iPhone users expect using the Verizon network iPhone 4? Some slight modifications happen to be made to the casing in the new Verizon version from the iPhone 4. This most likely has been done to rectify the earlier antenna issue that the AT&T model was having at its inception. Internal differences can also be seen in a side by side comparison where there have been some changes to the layout in order to rectify the antenna issue. What this means for users is not clear yet although early reports are certainly not mentioning any varieties of antenna or reception difficulties with the Verizon mode.
